SAVE $12: The Amazon Smart Thermostat is on sale for only $47.99 (originally $59.99) as of April 19. That's a 20% savings and its lowest price yet.

Amazon brought some serious heat to the smart home space when it debuted its Smart Thermostat last fall: It's compatible with Alexa, it's easy to install, and it's Energy Star-certified to help you save some money on your heating and cooling bills (about $50/year on average). It also doesn't hurt that it's normally half the price of Google's entry-level Nest Thermostat.

We say "normally" because it's even cheaper than usual ahead of Earth Day: As of April 19, you could grab an Amazon Smart Thermostat on sale for just $47.99 (or 20% off its $59.99 MSRP). Data on the price-tracking site camelcamelcamel shows that this is an all-time low it's only hit twice before, so this is definitely a deal worth jumping on.

Made in partnership with Resideo, the people behind Honeywell Home's thermostats, the Smart Thermostat is compatible with most HVAC systems and sets up fast with a C-wire. Once it's up and running, you'll be able to control it using any of your Alexa-enabled devices or directly through the Alexa app from anywhere.

Though it's not as feature-rich as Google's Nest offerings, which automatically adjust your home's temperature when you're not around, this model is a good pick for smart home beginners interested in making some low-stakes energy-efficient upgrades — especially at this price.
